Hi i dont know nothing about a damged beak but maybe he does have one he is acting normal should i bring him to a vet for that? Yes i'd definitely take him/her in for a check up, it looks to me personally like your bird may have been attacked by another bird before you got it. Be a good idea to get...

If she lays an egg in there it's gonna go down a slippery slide and splat onto the ground!!

Lol, you guys! She was a one legged female

Judging by the tail position, in the mating position too lol

We went to a pet store yesterday, they had a pair of Alexandrines there, Sapphire has the same size feet! I knew they were oversize! Lol

Redzone

Great to hear that you will be leaving Marley flighted, Nathan! It adds so much more to the experience of owning a parrot, & is a lot better for the bird's mental health & physical wellbeing

Nila had so many grapes tonight I think he's gonna turn into one!

Hi mate, probably the best advice I can give, is to put his favourite foods in a bowl together, and see what he eats first. They do tend to go for the favourites first! Don't just trust the results from this test once though, do it a few times & see what he consistently goes for. I don't believe...

Seeing as Claire is so good at making costumes etc, maybe she should make me a full sized one & some wings so I can model behaviour better?

The silliest thing about that vet visit, is that the vet just down the road (who we didnt want to back to for other reasons) who trimmed nila's nails when he was a baby, did a MUCH better job of it, even showing how he tested with light pressure on the nail to see if it was the part that could be cu...

Just an fyi also, IRN's are not a breed that generally likes to be touched at all, i'd say 99% of them dont unless it is molting season & they don't have another bird to assist them with it...

Billie steps up without any training l put my hand near her and she lifts a foot so show me she is willingto step up and she does.

Hey we have plenty of spare rooms, lol!

I hope she picks up Nila's contact call, not the other way round. As if thats gonna happen though lol

Redzone

Lol yeah boy is a great movie! Ps Squab is the word used to describe the base of a seat, I think thats tempting fate a little lol

I think it might be Claire's kiwi accent that's making the name sound pretentious

I got some pics with my phone, they will have to do for now :) http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/Coxerelli/Nele-Sa/2013-10-27090739_zps659fd06f.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/Coxerelli/Nele-Sa/2013-10-27090736_zps25c9c8d4.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/Coxerelli/Nele-...

Hi Paul, I really really think you need to check out an article by Steve Martin ( http://www.naturalencounters.com/images/Publications&Presentations/Understanding_Parrot_Behavior_Naturally-Steve_Martin.pdf ), one section is on screaming and how to stop it/tone it down. Here is the section i'm re...

Here's an excerpt: Biting “Biting is just part of having a parrot as a pet.” Does that sound familiar? It should. It is the most common attitude associated with companion parrot ownership. However, this author feels the opposite is true. A parrot owner should strive to never get bit. That is a prett...

That "don't whistle if you want to teach your bird to talk" is an old wives tale ;)

Not all birds will talk, but whistling wont prevent them from trying it.

Ain't nothin like a Claire size thesis!

Redzone

One thing that was explained to us by Dr Adrian Gallagher, our bird vet, is that a parrot will know exactly how many beats of it's wing will be required to make it from perch to perch. He explained to us, that if we show our bird that windows are solid, by taking him to the window & touching his...

We're lucky enough to have a whole flock of them roosting in the palm tree out the front of our house at the moment. We have a bottle brush tree out there as well which they love to eat from. There is one lori in particular which is a total nutcase, he's a classic. Those birds have so much personali...

Redzone

You seem to have some fixation with attorneys and lawyers, threatening their use at the drop of a hat. I really dont understand it personally, it just makes you look like you have something to be afraid of?

BTW your threatening legal action violated the terms of use of this website i'm pretty sure.

Redzone

You were banned for a reason, buddy.

Redzone

I have a theory that this kind of occurence is the reason why ringnecks are so able to adapt to new owners/mates, in the wild where they originate from, anything can happen, so they have the ability to get over losing a mate quickly.. I mean there has to be a reason why they tend to lose their tamen...

Sorry to hear that Colleen, Mike must be pretty upset, she sounded like an awesome bird & an incredible pairing with Sacha

Redzone

One thing that really helps to avoid being bitten is to understand the body language they display before they go for you. Watch for "slicked back" feathers, pinned eyes etc. Yes you will need to regain lost ground, but don't be disheartened, it does take time to tame a ringneck, but they a...

Might also be a good idea to join your local avicultural society to get some first hand advice, we did, and we're not even planning on breeding. Just wondering, did someone tell you that ringnecks need to be hand raised to be tame? As this is not the case... Parent raised birds are often easier goin...

The original poster stopped coming on here (due to many telling her to take her bird to an avian vet not a regular vet) so you wont get an answer from them.

something called Beacon Feather Disease.

Is that where the bird's feathers light up to warn approaching ships?

Gotta love smart phone autocorrect fails!

It's Psittacine Beak and Feather disease

They do tend to get a bit short tempered/feisty when they are molting!

Yeah you want your bird to be your friend, not "bonded" to you, that only ends up in tears..
